Hey guys,

Check it out!

I've been re-using, and re-editing pictures and videos I took using my Nikon Coolpix P950 and Nikon Zfc with Microsoft ClipChamp video editing software. You can download it from the Microsoft Store. It's awesome. There are many free templates, background music, cool effects, etc.

You can also purchase more music, effects, and more. I'm impressed. Once, you're done, you can save your videos or immediately upload them to YouTube or other social media. You can save in several formats and ratios. It's easy to use even for novices.

I wasn't happy with some of the earlier videos I edited and uploaded. I could have done better. Luckily, I didn't delete them and kept them still on my hard disk. I kept the main files on my SD card. Once it's full, I just buy a new one. I trust them on my SD card more than other storage offers. 

I used to store all my files in external storage devices but they all became faulty. Nowadays, they have the SSD type. I might try them in the future. Seems to last longer. My computer's internal SSD is still fine. My main hard disk died years ago.

The funny thing though is that I re-used my old laptop hard disk and it's still working great. I kept some of my old laptop hard disks as you never know. I've been wanting to upgrade my 100GB SSD as it's running out of space. This could be one of the reasons, I couldn't upgrade to Windows 11.

Anyway, I hope you guys watch my new re-edited video of my photography using the AstrHori 50mm lens with my Nikon Zfc. As I've said, I like the new Microsoft editing software the Clipchamp. One photo effect I keep choosing is the 35mm lens.

For some reason, the image looks much nicer to me when I use the 35mm lens effect. I'm even thinking of getting a prime 35mm lens. People say it makes your picture look much tighter. My favorite prime lens that I've been using is the SE 28mm which I got with my Zfc.

I want to purchase the new 28-400mm lens to go with my Nikon Z8. I have the 50-250mm z dx. From my own experience, the 28-400mm will be much preferred. I could reach further with the 400mm. I'm getting more experience with the more pictures and videos I took.

I'm thinking of getting the latest Fujifilm XM5. I've been checking some videos of it on YouTube and I like it. Though the retro design reminds me of my Zfc. What I'm really interested in is the film recipes that they offer on the camera itself. 

You can choose the type of photo recipe you like before taking photos. It's available by rotating the dial. You can also take a 6k video. A 6k is more than enough. You can then download it to your phone and immediately upload it to your social media. 

I'm kind of an impatient person and also I think, I suckz at editing photos and videos. That's why the XM5 seems made for me. It's not out yet. The news is that it'll be out mid of Nov. I'm not going to purchase it straight away. I'll get it when I get the chance.

What do you guys think?

AstrHori 50mm Manual Focus Lens Nikon z fc sample pictures - Japanese Cemetery Park

AstrHori 50mm F2.0 Large Aperture Full Frame Manual Prime Lens with Blur Effect & Filter Slot Compatible with Nikon Z-Mount Mirrorless Camera Z50,ZFC,Z5,Z6,Z6ⅡZ7,Z7Ⅱ,Z9,etc(Black)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Yesterday, after work it didn't rain and it was a nice sunny afternoon. Last week, I checked the weather forecast and it was supposed to be a rainy week. But, still, I brought my Nikon z fc camera just in case. I'm glad I did. Turn out to be a nice day for photography.

I guess, my prayer was answered and I now have the chance to test my new AstrHori 50mm manual focus lens. I've read some reviews on it and there are pros and cons. For starters, I'm just a newbie photographer but personally, I think it's awesome!



AstrHori 50mm F2.0 Large Aperture Full Frame Manual Prime Lens with Blur Effect & Filter Slot Compatible with Nikon Z-Mount Mirrorless Camera Z50,ZFC,Z5,Z6,Z6ⅡZ7,Z7Ⅱ,Z9,etc(Black)

Of course, this is just my personal view and preferences. First, I love the manual focus and aperture ring control. In my last blog post, I said I preferred using an autofocus lens. Using the astrhori 50mm makes me change my mind. I got the hang of it really quickly.

I think it's more suitable if you're in a relaxed environment just taking your time to take a picture of flowers or any still interesting images. Take your time to manually focus on the subject, and also your ability to control the aperture ring.



AstrHori 14mm F4.5 Ultra Wide Angle APS-C Manual Lens Strong Anti-Distortion with Filter Slot Compatible with Nikon Z-Mount Mirrorless Camera Z50, ZFC(Silver)

The picture looks really sharp and I love the bokeh. The Japanese cemetery garden I went to is a great place to test the lens. I primarily save in jpeg because I'm lazy to do too much editing if used raw and also I want to save space on my 64GB sd card. 

I read somewhere it's advisable not to edit too much or you'll make it much worse. Kinda true, every time I try some editing I end up returning to the original value. At the same time, I learned in another video that exaggerating some of your pictures is also good. Lol.



SanDisk 64GB Extreme SDXC UHS-I Memory Card - C10, U3, V30, 4K, UHD, SD Card - SDSDXV2-064G-GNCIN

This time around though, I only edited a little bit trying to make it more natural. And, probably because of the astrhori lens, I didn't edit some of them as they already look fine to me. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I always felt that movie makers have a good eye for great pictures or videos.

I believe you need a good eye to make a good picture. A work of art that people will recognize and enjoy. I'm trying to learn how to see things differently. To make my own photography style and make my own work of art that people will appreciate.

This is probably why I simply love my Nikon z fc. The cool retro design and it's no slouch either. Add a good lens like the AstrHori 50mm, and it'll make for an interesting collection of pictures and videos for me. I really like some of the pictures I've taken yesterday. Check out the video!

Below are some of the sample pics that I like:

I've been to the Japanese cemetery park before and I can't remember if I've used my Nikon P950 to take photos or just used my Samsung phone. I think my Nikon z fc with the astrhori 50mm lens takes much sharper pictures. They also brought something different. Especially, the bokeh.

What do you guys think?

Nikon Coolpix P950 - EN-EL20 + Charger - Third party battery

BM Premium Pack of 2 ENEL20, EN-EL20a Batteries and USB Dual Battery Charger for Nikon Coolpix P950, P1000, DL24-500, Coolpix A, 1 AW1, 1 J1, 1 J2, 1 J3, 1 S1, 1 V3 Digital Camera

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Finally, got the spare batteries that I ordered. Although, I actually ordered the 7.2V version they send me the 7.4V instead. I've read somewhere that some have been using the version for years and had no problem with their camera.

I did test the third-party batteries on my Nikon Coolpix p950 and everything seems to be ok. The specs really vary from the original but the size is the same. Anyway, the seller stated that it's supposedly compatible with my P950.

I've tried charging the original Nikon P950 camera with the charger and it actually works too. The size is obviously the same as the third-party battery so it fits nicely to the charger. But, I'm not recommending you to use it to charge. As I don't know if it's a good idea to do that.

Anyway, I've thought about it and I'll rather charge the original battery while the camera is connected to my computer when transferring pics and videos. I'm still new to the camera and I don't want to fck it up yet. The good thing is that now I have a total of 4 batteries.

The first time, I used my Nikon P950, I thought one battery would be enough as I thought, I won't be taking too many photos and videos. I forget that if you use your camera zooming capability the mechanical will use up your battery too.

I was practically going crazy with the 83x zoom. And, the power bank that I was using doesn't have fast charging. It takes too long to recharge. Thank goodness, I managed to get some good pictures and videos while only using one battery. Lol.



Wasabi Power Battery (2-Pack) and Dual Charger for Nikon EN-EL20, EN-EL20a

Now, with 4 batteries, I can go crazy taking photos and videos without thinking about battery managing. But, I still have to think about my SD Card. I think that'll be my next target purchase. To buy more SD cards. I'll be taking loads of pics and videos far into the future.

I've also bought some new filters to be used with my camera. I'm slowly moving to the technical part of using the camera. The manual settings have many choices, and I'm beginning to see the full potential of the camera. Like, choosing a different main color for the pictures. Interesting!



Nikon EN-EL20a Rechargeable Li-ion Battery

I'm not really sure of third-party products. Sometimes, they're pretty good and much cheaper. Of course, if you want to be safe, it's better to get the original from the main manufacture of the products itself. For third-party, you'll want to check out the review first before getting them.

I'm glad, by the time I got the Nikon Coolpix P950, there's already the P900 and the P1000. Even the P950 has already been out for almost 2 years? So, there's a lot of info out there you can read up on. The P950 is basically the little brother of the P1000.

The battery EN-EL20/20a for the P1000 is also the same as the P950. Some say, whatever you can use on the P1000 the new P950 can also be used. So like I say, there's no shortage of products already available on the market for the P950. I've learned batteries are basically the lifeline of my camera.

I'll be posting about my purchase of filters for my Nikon Coolpix P950 maybe next week. Check it out!

Nikon Coolpix P950 - Swimming Godzilla?

Nikon COOLPIX P950 Digital Camera w/NIKKOR 83x Optical Zoom Lens, 64GB Transcend SD Memory Card, Tripod, Bag, Lens Blower/Cleaner, and More

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I don't know why every local park I went to, I'm sure to find this big lizard walking around or just swimming around in the lake. I was resting at the park shelter when I saw something moving in the water. At first, I thought it was a snake or piece of wood. Turn out it's the lizard!

I was actually still re-charging the camera battery with my power bank. Luckily, the lizard still hanging around at the side of the lake. That's why I love the zooming capability of the Nikon Coolpix P950. I can discreetly zoom in to just its head popping out of the water.

It must have noticed me as it decided to swim to the other side. The way it swam reminds me of the movie, Godzilla. Also, it didn't go under the water. Makes me wonder if they actually do that in real life. Well, the movie always exaggerates to make it more interesting.

There was a couple of time when I make the mistake of moving too near the animals to take pictures or videos. When I can simply just use the camera to zoom. I guess that's why they say the Nikon P1000, P900 and P950 are best for wildlife.

In one of my pictures, I didn't realize there was a dragonfly on the branch far out in the water. I only notice it after uploading it on my video. Again, without the zooming capability of my camera, I wouldn't have seen it. 

That's one of the advantages of the Nikon Coolpix P950. In fact, I'm frequently using zoom to take pictures and videos. It actually came naturally to me. My nephew saw one guy with his camera and big lens. I told him, he's probably a pro.

Ok, maybe it's just his interest in camera and photography. But, the kind of lens he's carrying, that probably cost more than my camera. I wouldn't be able to afford it. I got my P950 at half the price because it's a demo version. And, it still looks brand new.

The P950 is a great starter camera for me. It's probably for you too if you've never owned a point-and-shoot camera. Especially with the 83x zoom. You can take videos in 4K and upload them in 1080P. The quality of the image would be better than being downgraded from 1080P. 



SanDisk 128GB Ultra SDXC UHS-I Memory Card - 100MB/s, C10, U1, Full HD, SD Card - SDSDUNR-128G-GN6IN

Another great thing about the camera that I keep forgetting to talk about is how stable it is, even without a camera tripod. Ok, if you really want a more steady shot, then you'll need one. But, for moments where you don't want to lose a shot like me taking the video of the lizard swimming, it does help.

I don't have steady hands. And, it does shake a lot when you're at maximum zoom. I found that out when taking videos of boats and planes without a tripod. I also managed to save up the battery before I finished getting what I wanted.

Also, my 128GB SD card storage has finally dropped below the 100GB mark. I might have to get a new card soon. I'm planning to buy a new card every time it's full and keep all my pics and videos on it. I don't trust any backup HD drive as they have failed me time and again.

Don't forget to check out the swimming Godzilla video. I might talk about another shorter video of the black lizard which I took last week. So, keep coming back to my blog!

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Finally! I got myself the Nikon Coolpix P950. And, I got it for half the price. It's a demo unit but, it's still in pristine condition. So far, it works pretty well. I'm a newbie and this is pretty much my first digital camera. I have used the old camera with film back in the days but even then it's not mine.

I have always wanted to get myself a good camera but never actually get to it. I love taking pictures and videos with my phone. When I saw the P900, P1000, and then P950, I was pretty intrigued with their zooming capabilities. Who wouldn't?

I actually wanted to get myself the P1000. Because it can zoom to 3000mm. Why limit yourself when you can go to that extreme? Of course, there're pros and cons. Every product has its pros and cons. It's whether you can live with it or simply doesn't bother you. Everyone has their own 'opinions'.

For example, I saw a channel where at first this guy praises the P950. Later on, he said, he's selling it off or whatever. Like I said, everyone has their own opinion and every product isn't perfect. It's the same with the P1000. Some people might like the zoom but definitely not the size and weight that goes with it.

There's the rumor about the upcoming P1100. Not sure if it's true. But, it'll be interesting if Nikon can fix whatever problem people been complaining about the P1000 and P950. One of the problems I heard is the problem of the camera image with low light. 

I've been testing out the P950 since yesterday and I would have to agree. I tried taking video at night and I see lots of noises. I even worry how bad it'll look if I upload it to my youtube channel. I read from a comment that a guy shot his video in 4K and then upload it to 1080P for better videos.

I tried looking for the 4K feature and I can't find it. I'm a newbie so I'm not really sure what's the resolution is. All I know is that I've set it to auto and it's in 1080p(25p). Anyway, once I edit my video and save it to 1080p, my video actually looks a little sharper.

I was a little happier with the night video footage that I've uploaded on my channel. Check out the video here. I'm also open to tips and suggestions for taking better videos and pictures with the P950. In fact, I've been going around watching videos on the camera and even some photography channels.



SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I Card - C10, U3, V30, 4K UHD, SD Card - SDSDXXY-128G-GN4IN

There seems to be a war on SD vs MicroSD in the camera world. The other day, I read that an SD card is much better because if you use a MicroSD card, you'll need an adapter. That adapter apparently is the weak link. Although, I've read both opinions and they both have their points.

Well, yesterday, I went to get myself an SD card and nobody seems to be selling it. In the end, I went back to the camera shop and got myself the MicroSD card. I already got so many adapters so I just used the Samsung version to be safe.



SanDisk 200GB Ultra MicroSDXC UHS-I Memory Card with Adapter - 120MB/s, C10, U1, Full HD, A1, Micro SD Card - SDSQUA4-200G-GN6MA

I was pleasantly surprised when the camera immediately recognizes the MicroSD card with the adapter. So, I took some pictures and videos. I was really excited and love the zooming capability. I've been dreaming of playing with the camera for a long while. 

Everything was smooth and even the card works great. It wasn't slow or anything. It was also pretty fast when I transfer the pictures and videos to my laptop. My HP laptop coincidentally has an SD card reader. Kinda weird as most laptops have a MicroSD card.

I've ordered myself a camera bag, and an SD card online but I might get a MicroSD card too. Which is actually cheaper. I think the camera manufacture could once and for all solved the dilemma. They should update their camera line by using MicroSD like every other electronic device in the world right now!
